The reason I write about words, is because I feel not everyone understands the true person writing them .. people hear the name Stephen King, they think of some dark, evil, sinister and blood thirsty man who wants to destroy with hatred and spill blood every chance he gets .. and I admit, while he is a very weird guy, he is also a very caring individual.

"The Kingdom" (1994, 1997): Known in its native Denmark as "Riget," Lars von Trier's eight-episode miniseries focused on the supernatural happenings at a Copenhagen health-care facility called Kingdom Hospital (that's the name Stephen King used for his subpar American remake).

Last month I also read 'Salem's Lot by Stephen King which is certainly a great story, but also a very traditional, Bram Stoker inspired take on the vampire: the vampire is Other, a monster on the loose that must be stopped and destroyed.
